Due to transitioning our CRM system Philly Temps has temporarily suspended our job board. We are unable to parse resumes at this time and in order to insure you are properly entered into our system suggest waiting before submitting an application. This applies to e-mailed resumes as well. We anticipate the transition to be complete by Monday April 8 and apologize for the inconvenience. We look forward to receiving your resume after that date.

Frequently I am asked what the turn around is on the jobs I place. How long does it take? Well, that really depends on the job. A Receptionist that calls out sick? A matter of minutes, usually. A straight send for an open job? Less than an hour. A position that calls for resume review? Depends on the client’s timeline, anywhere from a matter of hours to a month. No matter what the length of the position, Philly Temps provides expedited, quality placements, picking up the phone to call our short list of temps right after getting off your phone call. And that fast turn around makes all the difference. Getting the right person into a vacancy aides in the overall quality of the temp experience for everyone involved, for our workers and your company. How are we able to make such lasting, swift placements? Let me tell you our staffing secret. Read the rest of this entry »

Your office is humming. There is work that needs to be done. Maybe it’s a small project that could use an extra pair of hands. Perhaps there is the need to expand with a new role, or replace an outgoing employee. Companies like yours may think that there is only one arduous way to find someone to do the work, often not considering the temporary placement option.

When I interview potential Philly Temps employees, I always try to probe what sort of work are they open to? Because we do all length of assignments, I need talented people who are looking for different things. I need workers who only want part time, who are only available for a few months, who are happy to be on call but don’t want to commit to anything long-term. However, many candidates I speak with are firm in that they are only looking for permanent or guaranteed temp-to-perm opportunities. Frequently I am told in the interview not to bother to contact candidates for anything less than a month, or three month, or six month assignment. “It’s not worth my time” they tell me. Ok, I say, noting it in their file. Because we need people who are only looking to commit to a perm opportunity. And I listen to what they say they want. I don’t reach out to them when a short temp job comes in. And they lose out.
